It isn't a definite deal. The FCC has to investigate AT&T over the next 12 months to make sure that the merger won't cause any monopolies. That's where the government comes into play. If they approve this it will be the last straw. If AT&T merges with T-mobile that would make them the only GSM carrier in the U.S. (aside from the little companies that only have towers in one city). That's all the proof I need to see that this country no-longer cares about the citizens, it cares about the companies.
Oh I guess I miss understood the FCC part. DX My bad.
I just want my phone rates to stay the same. D:
